Anchor - Migrating the System to a New Server

Overview

The following is information on how to perform a system migration. Please note, however, that it is important to first contact eFolder Support so that they can assist with this process.

Instructions

To prepare for the migration:

Stop the PostgreSQL 9.1 service and stop the Anchor Server service.

Copy your entire PostgreSQL9.1 folder (default location is C:\PostgreSQL9.1) and both your File Store and DB Store to the new machine. Your file store was chosen during system setup and your DB store is located by default in C:\Anchor Server\store_1. For example, you might copy: - C:\PostgreSQL9.1\ - C:\Anchor Server\store_1\ - D:\User defined file store\

Make sure that your PostgreSQL9.1 folder and your Anchor Server folder are placed on a drive letter and path that matches your previous installation (for example, C:\). We recommend that you place your file store in a path that matches your previous installation (for example, D:\) since changing this will require modification of the PostgreSQL9.1 database.

Create a user in Windows with the same username and password of the PostgreSQL user. Then, give this user Full Control to PostgreSQL 9.1 folder before attempting the install.
